[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post is kind of confusing , but it sounds like your SIL has consistently been the primary caregiver for your in-laws (even when she herself had young kids and your husband was single) but now that you also have kids you are upset that your husband is being asked to help care for his parents?[/quote]

I don’t think he should be demanded to leave when we have zero support. They aren’t the only ones with a need for support. They took the support from us and just keep demanding. [/quote]

This is confusing.

SIL had mil and fil help with her kids for a while.
Mil and fil became elderly/in need of care.
SIL became their primary caregiver even though she had kids. You helped her with the in-laws sometimes.
Now you have a child. 
SIL is still primary caregiver.
Now you no longer want to help because you have a child. 
You think it's unfair for SIL to ask you for help with the in-laws because you don't have those very in-laws to help you.

Is this right?
